Have you tried removing "rhgb" from the kernel boot parameters ? I came to a similar problem on an Intel Macbook couples of days ago in Intel Graphic Testing Day. In that case, removing rhgb parameter or using KDE LiveCD (KDM instead of GDM) works.<br>

</div>I don't think this should be a F13 blocker b/c it doesn't work with F12<br>
either. And it doesn't seem to be exactly reproducible - I tried again<br>
to boot into F13_RC2 and it got past the login screen and then froze<br>
while bringing up the desktop.<br>
<br>
Honestly I think it has something to do w/ PCI Express on this<br>
motherboard (MSI P41-C31). The same card works fine in another system<br>
with an Intel MB.<br>
